Nature and technology come together

An innovative solution for a green square on top of a parking garage!

The team behind the construction of the square is busy with the final details. A real challenge, because underneath the square is a parking garage, which means that the load-bearing capacity is limited. But that doesn’t stop them! The construction team has even calculated the weight that the trees will be when they are fully grown, so that they can determine the right load-bearing capacity now. Because growing space for the trees is of great importance and for that, there needs to be enough soil. And all of this must fit within the boundaries of the parking garage. But that’s not all: concrete steps and seat poufs also need to be taken into account in the calculations. After a lot of calculations and drawings, the team has finally found the optimal solution: a total of 54 trees, 3 concrete steps, 13 concrete seat poufs, and 80 centimeters of living space for the trees and plants. A fantastic result of this puzzle!
